To keep it simple, attending Richard’s tutoring has been one of the best decisions I made during VCE. Having previously hopped from a few other english language tutors prior to going to him due to disorganisation and a lack of care in my improvement, I was blissfully surprised by Richard. From the onset until my final weeks of year 12, Richard has been diligent, approachable and invaluably helpful. He provides a vast array of resources which help with understating the large amount of metalanguage required of the subject, and provides many new, relevant language examples on a regular basis which really cut down on the time wasted trying to find everything on your own. Richard also keeps things simple and doesn’t overcomplicate anything more than it needs to be, making learning and your personal writing development easy and very achievable. The classes are given as groups, however Richard makes sure to attend to the needs of every student of his, both during the sessions and afterwards. Additionally, within the sessions, he gives you time to attempt whatever is being covered yourself before he provides an insight into how he would target it; I’ve found this approach to be really effective. Moreover, Richard also serves as a great mentor through your final years, being ready to happily answer any questions surrounding VCE that you may have. But above all else, what stood out to me the most about Richard, aside from the fact that he is just a genuinely nice person and helpful guy, is how he makes you feel that he actually cares about you both as a person, and how you are going within the subject. Not only does he acknowledge that you have sought his assistance to advance yourself, but he takes pride in the fact that both of your efforts pay off, which I find heartwarming, and not as common a trait as expected from all tutors. With that being said, I would highly recommend Richard if you have decided to undertake English Language as one of your subjects and wish to maximise your performance, as in my opinion he definitely deserves the monicker of the ‘#1 VCE English Language Tutor’.
